Black hole thermodynamics and KK photon quantum corrections in 2D effective dilaton gravity
Abstract
We study black hole thermodynamics using a two-dimensional effective theory obtained by dimensional reduction of four-dimensional Einstein--Maxwell theory. For spherically symmetric charged black holes, the resulting dilaton gravity has a nonlinear potential that reproduces the semiclassical phase structure of four-dimensional AdS black holes, including the Hawking--Page transition and the small/large Reissner--Nordström--AdS black hole transition. This shows that the two-dimensional theory before taking the near-horizon and near-extremal limits captures non-extremal thermodynamics beyond the Jackiw--Teitelboim gravity regime. We also include electromagnetic Kaluza--Klein modes on the internal sphere and integrate them out to derive the one-loop effective dilaton gravity. At leading order in the derivative expansion, these corrections appear as constant shifts in the black hole entropy and in the effective charge parameter of the dilaton potential. Therefore, the semiclassical phase structure is not qualitatively modified within this leading local approximation.
